Serato is celebrating 25 years in DJ and music production software with the release of a limited-edition reissue of the original Serato Scratch Live Control Vinyl, which completely changed the game for DJs following its release in 2004.

The “Serato Scratch Live Control Vinyl – 25th Anniversary Edition” features a pair of 12” 140g control vinyls, encased in a commemorative 25th-anniversary cover. The reissue will consist of five classic colours, including black, transparent red, transparent blue, orange, and grey marble.

To add an element of excitement, you won’t know which colour you’re getting until you open it, with only 1,500 units available to purchase from selected global stores starting October 1, 2024, priced at $49 USD.

Serato launched its first product, the revered Pitch ‘n Time, in 1999. The brand has since become ubiquitous with some of the biggest names in music, with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Drake, A$AP Rocky and more name-dropping Serato in their lyrics, and artists like Questlove, Erykah Badu, Metro Boomin, A-Trak, DJ Snake and DJ Jazzy Jeff utilizing the software.

“At Serato’s core is a passion for music and technology, and we’ve built our foundation on the ongoing commitment to creating best-in-class products for DJs and music producers,” said Nick Maclaren, Serato’s Chief Strategy Officer who, as a club DJ in the 2000s, was one of the first to trial Scratch Live.

“When Serato Scratch Live was first introduced, it reinvented what was in the realm of possibilities for DJs at the time. As we celebrate 25 years of empowering artists through Serato’s advanced technology, we’re excited for our community to experience the magic of this innovation once again with the reissue of the Serato Scratch Live Control Vinyl.”
